Working At Home For 21st Century Moms

If you’re reading this book, chances are you’re a mom, a dad, or even a
grandparent who wants to work from home. You may have made this decision for
any number of reasons:
• You want to spend more time with your family
• You’re tired of the nine-to-five working world
• You're already retired or almost so
• Downsizing or layoffs have hit your industry
• You want a second household income
• You’ve finally decided to turn your dreams into a reality
• You’re seeking more out of life
• You want to change the world
Do any of these apply to you? Whatever reasons are behind your decision to
start working from home, it’s a given that you want to be successful. There are

your slippers and watch the money roll in! The Internet and television
infomercials abound with advertisements from companies that promise a
leisurely lifestyle and the road to Easy Street—usually with a “minimal
investment” in their products or services. Some companies prey on a work at
home mom’s deepest desires: no clocks to punch, limitless time with your kids,
profits without effort. They promise swimming pools and mansions…but usually
deliver empty bank accounts and shattered dreams
